Folks who want to watch some near death defying acts on the Red River have an opportunity to do just that next weekend when approximately 100 wakeboarding enthusiasts invade the Red River for the 2013 USA Wakeboard Nationals.

Brought to town by the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission, the event will feature 12 teams of up to seven competitors, plus some individual wakeboarders. Among the already qualified and participating teams are groups from Louisiana Tech, UL-Monroe, Ole Miss, Texas Tech and Mississippi State. LSU will not be participating this year.
